‘Barista Albany’ part of Wine & Dine festival

ALBANY — Who is the city’s top barista? That question will be answered next Saturday (January 19) when “Barista Albany” is held as part of the multi-day Albany Wine and Dine for the Arts Festival.

What is being billed as “a classic throw-down for the mantle of Albany’s best barista” will begin at 11 a.m. at the Hotel Albany (formerly the Crowne Plaza). Admission will be $10, or $5 for holders of a Saturday Festival Grand Tasting Ticket.
